Why is the gift in secret, unless neither the giver nor the givee want it to
be known that the gift was made? Why wouldn’t they want the gift to be known?
Similarly, a bribe in the bosom is being hidden. Why, if not to pervert
justice? What is the typical reaction when people see injustice being
practiced, if not fury?
Hence, from the context, I read this term as having the definition of
“excite” or “inflame”.
Is there any clue from cognate languages or elsewhere that would override the
contextual clues?
